    Well i won't have much time for, maybe the next week and a half or 2 weeks so i won't be able to schedule a playtest... you don't have to be at the playtest, just compile the bsp and link it to google drive and get the playtest ready. They host it there

    Well you've obviously mapped before (?) cause your brushwork looks experienced. One thing I would suggest it too stop detailing for now so that you can recieve feedback from fellow mapcorians, without struggling to make changes.

    Try to schedule a playtest here :

    Yeah, it's not the most varied, diverse theme. I also don't think it's overly practical as a concept. I don't know many terrorists striking fear into the hearts of a nation by bombing an old ruin with no people around, with no militaristic value.

    Btw, you don't need to quote a whole post, especially one as long as mine. Just clip it out as I have done for you

    I'm on my phone and really lazy right now

    */me in high pitched voice* Guilty as charged!

    I often browse mapcore at work so I can't run around maps, so I have to go from what I see and hope that what you show. Unless it's a lot further into development then I'll try and make the effort to have a look around because the finer detail needs a closer look.

    You don't need to be in the map to see potential layout problems, especially when an overview is provided.

    2:1 for stairs is a maximum, don't overuse it:

    the exposed stairs at the back work, the tight corridor leading midway into the site is far too steep for how enclosed it is. You've created the chokepoint to end all chokepoints there. You're probably struggling to find where to put cover because you've got too much space. That level of flanking on an already exposed bombsite just doesn't sound fun.

    It's good to define exactly where you plant the bomb, and not with a cross that you can see from space, use the overlay tool and texture locking to manipulate the size of the overlay, not decal which looks like what you've used.

    I realise some of these lines are across different levels, but you need to always bear sight lines in mind when making anything because people will find them, and they will be OP:

    Timing-wise, I don't think it's too bad based on what you've said. CTs should always get there fractionally before Ts on at least one site to provide a rush option, and the other site CTs have a couple more seconds to setup. A 12sec rotation time isn't bad either considering worse case scenario bomb timer is 35sec.

    I don't know if you've settled on the aztec theme, but one of the reasons the original was a horrible map was because it had very tight chokepoints into very large open spaces where you could be shot from pretty much anywhere. It's a nightmare to do anything and it also massively overused "verticality"

    Nuke has a dash of it with the ladder/rafters/catwalk area which is nice (if OP most of the time...) to mix things up, but everything works in measure, just don't over do anything is really what it comes down to.

    I think the problem is, he's using the Aztec theme, and that mentally limits him to how he builds the map, which might be a problem.

    Thank you for the link, i just ask to put me on schedule for the 14 of April. I'm also looking for competetive 5v5 playtest and I find this

    https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1oN2U5…iewform?c=0&w=1that I will also try.

    Can't wait to get feedback and find ways to make it better

    Edit : actually i was so excited to get a response that it didn't bother me at all

    yeah, well don't expect responses on your post everyday, sometimes people don't reply for weeks at a time
